Dr. James Moran:

I thank committee members for the opportunity to discuss this matter with them. We might have been a bit more honest than we planned or forthright in what we said, but from the session today I think there is hope that solutions can be found. As Dr. Dunford said, farmers, as the managers of our land, are the solution if we all work in partnership, together with clear goals for where we want to get to as a food island that is resilient to the crises coming down the road.
